Richie Cole trade news.

[stefoid]

No, its a random list. But Walker is near the bottom.

Walker can play both ends of the ground, but cant do either of them well enough. He's not a natural footballer, hasnt got the brain for it. Genuinely big unit and athletic enough to succeed but unfortunately hasnt shown enough improvement, and in fact went backwards big time this year. He'll possibly get one more chance at Collingwood next year, he's a 50/50, but if any offer came up for his services, he'll probably be traded for a midfielder or a draft pick.

we already have a guy like that on the list called adam morgan. has all the tools but just isnt switched on. I dont think eade is dumb enough to continue to do the 'bulldogs thing' of trading for their latest tall hack discard from another club.

having said that he might go for whitnal, but at least whitnal could be saif to be a footballer. lazy and injury prone, but he knows how to play.

i dont remember starting a ********ing contest. whens the last time rocca strung a season together? some players are just injury prone for whatever reason and it cuts their career short, others play 250 consecutive games.

Don't get your knickers in a twist stefoid. You posted on our board saying you thought Rocca was finished. If he plays till Grant's age (and he will) thats 6 years he has left. Your knowledge of Bulldog players is excellent, but you don't know much about Collingwood. This is the first year he has missed a large chunk of the season, where on earth did you get the idea he was injury prone? Rocca is bulit up like the hulk at the mo and he'll be plying close to goal in the coming seasons. I hope Harris is spending his summer in the gym, or he'll rag doll your defenders in 2006 like he usually does.

ok, maybe Im exagerating. he played 14 games in 04 and 4 this year. before that he was fine.

he is, however, harris's bitch. he always used to rip us apart, but since harris has been at FB, he has done us no damage.

i dunno the balmey and co must have thought somethin of him to pick him up in jam packed draft! i mean we picked him up at 10, when dal santo went at 13! this is sounding alot liek the pavlich draft! we missed out on a gun player and picked up a player that will have no impact with the club! i say we keep him if he will improve, i would be hoping for something better than birss for cole, cole is a potential gun. whether he realises it or not is another story. But i say take a risk and keep him unless of course a better trade comes along

 

[Jabso]

FFS Richard Cole got picked up at pick 11 not 10, why does everyone always say it was pick 10.

 

[hotpie]

he is also on the way out.

He's five years older than Anthony Rocca.

Well you could alway phug off if you don't like it on the COLLINGWOOD board

 

[hotpie]

To answer the question, he last strung a season together in 2003, and in the six seasons before that, without serious injury. Also played most of 2004, only missing the last 4 games or so. Never been seriously injured until late 04 and most of 05. Plenty of players have missed over a season of football and come back strongly, Chris Grant the best example from the Dogs.

Sav's unexpected longevity also gives us some reason to think that Anthony can still have a long successful career. Everybody thought Sav was washed up and his knees shot six years ago, but he's still going strong and a chance to play on in 2006.

Going by that theory, josh fraser, alan didak, ben johnson, amongst others who havent played a full season since 03, are 'on their way out'

Even though Chris Grant usually plays on him?

Have a look back at your vids such as Round 1 this year and the Round 2 match last year. Grant played on him both times. In Rd. 1 this year the 'great' Brian Harris played on Taz and didn't go near Pebs.

In fact, I seriously doubt Harris has EVER played on Ant (unless he did in 03 when Rocca rediscovered some touch in the Round 13(?) match and pounded the Bulldogs into oblivion), so how on earth can he be 'Harris's bitch'? Get your facts straight please.

Not all Collingwood fans on here are 12, you do have to tell the truth now and then.

Thankfully for him, Rocca certainly doesn't suffer the ignominy of being 'Harris's bitch.'

 

[pieman1]

I doubt old stefoid will be back anytime soon, He doesn't appear to know much about Collingwood, and Collingwood Bigfooty members keep punching holes in his arguments. Lets hope he does some proper research the next time he critiques our players.

I spoke to Balme on SEN this morning re Richie Cole. I mentioned his current 'condition' and the answer was his skin folds are fine and that it's the Willi jumper and white shorts that make him look fat. He said he's going no where and the club will be putting even more time into him. Question: Why hasn't the club been putting alot of time into him anyway? And his curent weight is listed at 86 kilos, what would it be if he put his OTHER leg on the scales?

Hmmm, that was you?
I heard that discussion

 

[matchwinner]

Pieman1, you need to stop being a troublemaker who is trying to start gossip! AFL players start training in October/November and get about 6-8 weeks off. Richard Cole's season is finished and most players in that situation would be out having a drink and enjoying their off season. Maybe you should relax and get out and have a few drinks as well rather than being so fanatical!

RE: Cole for Birss as discussed on first page of this thread

i think that would be good, Birss will give you a fair dinkum crack all the time, wont squib it, and will get in and get the footy

im a bit perplexed as to why the Doggies havent picked him more

queries perhaps on his decision making, so potentially it could be seen as a like for like trade

as for Richie Cole himself, skating on very thin ice, and really it is most likely all over for him unless he removes the digit
